Assassin Bug - Arilus cristatus

Assassin Bug - Arilus cristatus
Delaware County, Pennsylvania, USA
This picture details how the wheel bug nymph attacks it's prey, in this case a leaf hopper. Fortunately for the hopper, the nymph was too slow.

Nice, moved to guide
Neat photos. I moved these to the guide page for Arilus cristatus, since you know the identification.
